High-Precision UV Laser System Supply

The contract involves the supply and delivery of a high-precision ultraviolet photodissociation laser system operating at 360.4 nm, engineered for atomic and molecular physics research with stringent requirements for power stability and beam quality. The system must operate in TEM00 mode to ensure optimal spatial coherence and be designed for plug-and-play functionality, minimizing setup time and maximizing usability in sensitive experimental environments. Performance specifications prioritize reliability and precision, making the laser suitable for demanding laboratory applications where consistent output is critical. The contract is structured as a subcontract under the Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology, with the place of performance established in Boulder, Colorado, at the 80305 ZIP code. The solicitation was posted on July 20, 2026, with responses required by July 30, 2026, and falls under NAICS code 334516 for laser equipment manufacturing. There is no set-aside designation, and the procurement is open to qualified vendors capable of delivering a turnkey laser system meeting technical benchmarks without requiring extensive customization or specialized training for operation.
